I *think* it's this part:

                        return 0;

which basically returns 0 for _any_ line in the footer that doesn't
match the found_rfc2822 format.

Confirmed. I hacked up a version that just doesn't do that check at
all, and it works fine (but obviously only on well-formatted emails
that really do have a sign-off).

So I think that logic should basically be extended to saying

 - if any line in the last chunk has a "Signed-off-by:", set a flag.

 - at the end of the loop, if that flag wasn't set, return 0.

Instead of that thing that basically returns zero immediately when it
sees a line it doesn't like.

I'm in the middle of my merge window, so I'm not going to get around
to writing a patch until that's over. Hopefully somebody will step up
in the meantime. Hint, hint.
